Bank of America Securities analyst Bryan D. Spillane downgraded Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>) from Buy to Neutral, lowering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TAP/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the price forecast from $65 to $50</a>.
In December, the analyst upgraded Molson Coors, expecting U.S. beer volumes to return to normal 2025 trends and the company&#8217;s market share to stabilize, which would help sustain margins and support a higher valuation through better cash flow visibility.
However, that outlook hasn&#8217;t materialized, industry volumes continue to fall below historical levels, Molson Coors Beverage is still losing share, and the stock&#8217;s valuation reflects ongoing uncertainty.

As a result, the analyst downgraded the stock and cut the price forecast, now based on 8.3x their fiscal year 2026 EPS forecast versus the previous 9.9x.
This valuation is now more in line with U.S. packaged food peers, which face similarly muted growth prospects.
The analyst drew a sharp comparison between the current U.S. beer market and Doug Ivester&#8217;s old analogy of &#8220;sheep, parasites, and wolves&#8221; once used for the soft drink industry.
In this view, spirits are the wolves, stealing share and now encroaching further with ready-to-drink offerings; energy drinks are the parasites, leveraging beer distribution to their advantage; and beer companies, like Molson Coors Beverage, are the sheep, losing ground as consumer interest wanes.
This competitive pressure, the analyst argues, makes it increasingly unlikely for Molson Coors Beverage to meet earlier expectations, prompting them to revise their 2025 industry volume forecast from a 1.0% decline to a sharper 4.0% drop.
The analyst cut their fiscal year 2025 and fiscal year 2026 EPS estimates for Molson Coors Beverage from $6.02/$6.55 to $5.70/$6.02, citing a softer-than-expected second quarter in the U.S. and a more cautious revenue outlook tied to ongoing weakness in the domestic beer market.
Price Action: TAP shares are trading higher by 0.55% to $47.50 at last check Friday.

Molson Coors Hurt By Fewer People Drinking Beer, Warns Analyst

B of A Securities Downgrades Molson Coors Beverage to Neutral, Lowers Price Target to $50

Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>) is quiet on Wednesday. After <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/46043294/these-3-consumer-staple-giants-are-oversold-and-set-to-skyrocket">a long downtrend</a>, the shares have consolidated over the past few days and found support around the $48 level.
They are also very oversold and may be starting to reverse. This is why it is our Stock of the Day.
Stocks that are oversold and drop to support tend to rebound and rally. As you can see on the chart, this happened when Molson found support around the $52.50 level in January and early May.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="591" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/25151948/TAP-1024x591.png" alt="" class="wp-image-962168" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/25151948/TAP-1024x591.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/25151948/TAP-300x173.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/25151948/TAP-768x443.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/25151948/TAP.png 1410w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Oversold refers to a stock's momentum. Most of the time, a stock is within its typical trading range. If aggressive and emotional sellers push the price below this range, traders will say the stock is oversold.

This is an important dynamic.
It will draw buyers into the market. Many strategies are based on the concept of reversion to the mean, and these buyers will be anticipating a move higher. Their buying could put upward pressure on Molson.
The stock is also at a support level.
Support is a level or narrow price range with a large amount of buying interest. If a stock is trending lower, it is due to the lack of demand or a limited number of buyers. But at support levels, there is enough demand to absorb the supply.
This is why selloffs end or pause at support. &nbsp;
Molson has found support at around $48.30. This level was also support in August.
Some of the traders who sold their shares then came to believe they had made a mistake when the price headed higher. Some vowed to repurchase their shares at their selling prices if they could ever do so.
So, when the stock recently dropped back to this price, these remorseful sellers placed buy orders. The large concentration of these orders caused support to form at the level again.
This combination of being at a level where there is a large amount of buy interest in addition to being oversold could be a bullish setup. Molson may be about to rally.

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around Molson Coors Beverage?

The Aluminium Association of Canada (AAC) has condemned the U.S. government's move to impose a 50% tariff on Canadian <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/aluminum" rel="noreferrer noopener">aluminum</a>, calling it a protectionist misfire that risks destabilizing North America's integrated manufacturing base and driving higher inflation across key sectors.
"A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminum will suppress demand across the continent — whether the metal is produced in Canada or the U.S.," Jean Simard, AAC's president and CEO, <a target="_blank" href="https://aluminium.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/AAC_PRESS-RELEASE_US-Tariffs_50_June-3-2025_FINAL.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> in a press release.
"It will impact workers on both sides of the border and disrupt key sectors including defense, construction, and automotive," he stated.
The tariff, enacted last Wednesday following an executive order from President Donald Trump, effectively prices Canadian exports out of the U.S. market at $1,349.50 per metric ton. Simard warned that the move may force Canadian producers to reorient trade toward the European Union and away from their most critical industrial partner.
Food packaging is among the industries most exposed to these tariffs, as large companies such as Campbell Soup (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NASDAQ">CPB</a>) and Coca-Cola (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) heavily rely on aluminum for their products.
The domestic Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) also responded to Trump's decision, pointing out how aluminum and tinplate steel tariffs would hurt American families.
"Doubling the steel tariff will further increase the cost of canned goods at the grocery store," CMI president Robert Budway <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cancentral.com/can-manufacturers-institute-opposes-president-trumps-doubling-of-steel-tariffs/" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> on May 30. "These metal tariffs put our nation's food security at risk."
Nine domestic mill production lines have closed since the original 2018 tariffs on tin mill steel, leaving only three operational facilities. Thus, the domestic industry relies on roughly 80% of tin mill steel imports and a significant portion of aluminum.
Canada annually ships 2.7 million metric tons of aluminum to the U.S., much of which is transformed into beverage cans, canned food containers, and consumer packaging.
That raw material supports over 700,000 American manufacturing jobs, while Canada's aluminum sector directly employs 9,500 workers. Combined, the binational aluminum value chain contributes more than $228 billion annually to the U.S. economy.
Thanks to its abundant hydropower, Canada produces low-carbon aluminum at a cost and emissions profile that is far below that of many of its global competitors. That energy benefit is enormous — equivalent to 40 million megawatt-hours per year, or the annual output of four Hoover Dams.
Simrad noted that the Canadian industry supports the U.S. goal of increasing domestic aluminum production capacity from 50% to 80% of national demand, but added that tariffs undermine the investment certainty needed to build that capacity.
"Even if U.S. output doubles, it will still be a net importer," he said.
Instead, the AAC and CMI urge the U.S. to target the real threat: subsidized overcapacity from China. Canada already leads the world in aluminum traceability and anti-dumping enforcement. "Canadian aluminum is not — and will not be — a backdoor for unfair trade," Simard stated. "Undermining a trusted partner only weakens the foundation we both stand on."

U.S. stocks rallied Thursday after the Trump administration signed its first major trade agreement with the United Kingdom, igniting optimism about further global deals — especially with China — and lifting investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">appetite for riskier assets.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 jumped 1.3% to close at 5,700, led by gains in technology stocks. The Russell 2000 soared 2.1%, outperforming larger-cap counterparts and fully recovering the losses triggered by the April 2 tariff announcement.
Under the deal, the U.S. slashed tariffs on UK-made vehicles from 25% to 10%, granting British carmakers a 100,000-vehicle quota. In return, the UK reduced tariffs on American beef to near-zero levels and pledged to purchase $10 billion worth of Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft. Trump confirmed that the 10% tariff would remain the baseline for now, though he suggested other nations with large trade surpluses should expect higher rates.
During a press briefing, Trump hinted at the &#8220;biggest tax cuts in history&#8221; and urged investors to act: "You better go out and buy stock. This country will be like a rocket ship," he said.
The president also responded to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who noted a day earlier he hadn't been invited to meet with Trump. "I could call him from a meeting, but it's like talking to a wall," Trump said. 
"He's always too late [in cutting interest rates]. But in this case, it's not going to matter that much because our country is so strong."
Markets reflected that strength. The U.S. dollar rallied sharply as the new trade deal and reduced economic uncertainty boosted confidence. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) jumped to its highest level since April 11, climbing over 1% against the Japanese yen.
Treasury yields rose across the curve, with the 10-year yield adding 7 basis points to reach 4.34%.
In commodities, gold prices dropped as investors rotated out of safe havens. The SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) fell 1.5%, trimming its weekly gains. Oil prices rose 3.5%, with West Texas Intermediate crude topping $60 per barrel.
Crypto markets erupted higher. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) broke above $100,000 for the first time since February, rising 4.1%. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) surged 13%, while Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) gained 10%.

Wall Street Rallies After US Seals First Trade Deal: 'You Better Go Out And Buy Stock,' Trump Says

Molson Coors Beverage Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAP#NYSE">TAP</a>) shares are trading lower on Thursday after<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45279841/molson-coors-beverage-company-reports-2025-first-quarter-results" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the company reported first-quarter results.</a>
The company reported adjusted earnings per share of 50 cents, missing the Street view of 83 cents. Quarterly sales of $2.30 billion missed the analyst consensus of $2.41 billion.
Net sales decreased 11.3% reported and 10.4% in constant currency. Price and sales mix favorably impacted net sales by 4.1%.
Financial volumes dropped 15.6% in the quarter. This was mainly due to lower brand volumes and prior-year inventory build.

Exiting U.S. and Canada contract brewing cut volume by around 4%.
Molson Coors said its underlying EBITDA (Non-GAAP) was $353.3 million, compared with $476.2 million in the year-ago period.
CEO Gavin Hattersley said the company&#8217;s first-quarter results were affected by macroeconomic challenges, competitive pressures in EMEA &amp; APAC, and anticipated headwinds such as last year&#8217;s U.S. inventory build, the end of contract brewing in the Americas, and Fever-Tree transition fees.
&#8220;Uncertainty around the effects of geopolitical events and global trade policy, including the impacts on economic growth, consumer confidence and expectations around inflation, and currencies has pressured the beer industry and consumption trends,&#8221; Hattersley said.
Total debt as of March 31 was $6.237 billion, and cash and equivalents totaled $412.7 million.
Outlook: For FY25, the company projects a low single-digit decrease of net sales year over year on a constant currency basis (prior view: low single-digit increase)
For adjusted earnings per share, the firm projects a low single-digit increase on a year-over-year basis (prior view: high single-digit increase).
Price Action: TAP shares are trading lower by 4.68% to $54.18 at last check Thursday.
